Ed Conway is the economics editor for Sky News. He also writes a personal blog called The Real Economy.

Ed joined Sky News in August 2011 to cover the financial crisis and Great Recession, as well as the euro crisis. Since then, he has interviewed many of the key players in the unfolding drama, including International Monetary Fund managing director Christine Lagarde, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne, and Bank of England Governor Sir Mervyn King. He has broken numerous stories, including the revelation that the G20 was preparing for a Greek default and that the IMF was planning to double the size of its rescue fund.

Ed is the author of 50 Economics Ideas: You Really Need to Know, a guide to economics. Before joining Sky, he was Economics Editor of The Daily Telegraph and Sunday Telegraph, where he was also a weekly op-ed columnist. During the early stages of the crisis, he was the first to reveal the Bank of England's plans to create money through quantitative easing, and to warn of the funding gap in the banking system which later led to the collapse of Northern Rock. He won a number of awards.

Ed was educated at Pembroke College, Oxford and the Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University, where he was a Fulbright scholar.
